Just curious as to how exactly a better adjustable aftermarket track bar can help prevent this. With the stock non-adjustable track bar, is the ovaling due to it not having the proper length/fitment to move properly or something?...kinda like it's stretching itself out, forcing it to move beyond it's ability? What exactly is going on that causes the ovalling?
I have an adjustable track bar, but I think my brackets are still stock, so should I still expect to get the ovaling thing occur at some point?

It's caused by lifting the jeep and not having the ability to adjust the camber of the frame and sit, for lack of better explanation. The track bar itself is not usually the culprit, it's the eyes welded to your frame. Pull in your garage and put your emergency break on and vehicle in neutral. have someone turn the wheel far left n right with you under the front end. Look for slack, more than a 1/16 play is not really good and it may be very apparent when you look.
